Beeswing, 77 



Arabian character in his head and ears, and in the swell 

 of the barrel behind the arms. He was, however, an 

 entire failure at the stud; although he covered his mares 

 with much apparent vigour and determination, very few 

 foals were accredited to him. Perhaps had he gone 

 abroad he might have done better. Sabreur's was a 

 very similar case, but he begets foals in Hungary. 



Perhaps the Paynator family is most celebrated by 

 Beeswing, a bay mare, by Doctor Syntax, and dam of 

 Newminster. She was foaled in 1833. Her dam was 

 by Ardrossan out of Lady Eliza, by Whitworth out of a 

 mare by Spadille out of Sylvia, by Young Marske. Her 

 pedigree on the side of her dam contains many strains 

 of blood from the Byerly Turk's line, but also goes 

 back to the Darley Arabian. She was six times the 

 winner of the Newcastle Cup, and won the Ascot Cup 

 in 1842. 



We must return to Trumpator, who was the sire of 

 Didelot, winner of the Derby 1796, from a mare by 

 Highflyer, and of Sorcerer, a black horse (foaled in 

 1796), whose dam was Young Giantess, got by Diomed 

 (the winner of the first Derby), son of Florizel. Ex- 

 cepting through the Cygnet mare, who was the dam 

 of Florizel — her granddam was Ebony, by Childers — 

 and through Herod (Florizel's sire), there is little or 

 no return to the Darley Arabian blood ; the dam of 

 Young Giantess being Giantess, by Matchem out of 

 Molly Longlegs, by Babraham (son of the Godolphin 

 Arab or Barb). Soothsayer, son of Sorcerer, was a 

 chestnut horse (foaled in 1808) ; he won the St Leger
